Anyone know if Withers plans on recruiting this year. 6 weeks left to ESD and we’ve filled 64% of a class. If three straight 2-10 seasons isn’t grounds for firing I’m not sure how this isn’t. Maxing out scholarships is something even Larry should hold people accountable for

Re: Recruiting 2019: offers, commits/decommits, transfers

Are we even at the 85 scholarship max at this point?

edit: I found an article from August saying we would have 76 scholarship athletes on the roster. I wonder if we were able to get to 85..

no - we added 4 or 5 by giving ships to walk-ons (can't recall if that was before or after that 76 number was announced), then cut 2 within the last couple of weeks.

The math is not looking good for 2019 to save Wither's mortal soul. We've had only 1 commit in the last 2 months and 3 decommitments. Mix that together with 7 wins across 3 seasons and in theory something would have to come of Wither's dumpsterfire next season sometime.

Re: Recruiting 2019: offers, commits/decommits, transfers

Brysen McKinney? We’re offering the wrong QB from Mansfield TX IMO. Chandler Rogers is the better QB. And we could get him if we recruit him, properly. He has offers from Southern Miss, Air Force and Southern. Meanwhile, he is leading Mansfield Lake Ridge through the playoffs in their 1st year in 6A. He beat DeSoto and Lake Ridge finished second in a tough district. May have beaten Cedar Hill if he didn’t get hurt. His recruiting is wide open according to his Dad so we should focus on him and “seal the deal.”

We lost our #1 rated OL and #1 rated DL recruits when we can't block to help us score and don't have anyone on DL that can get to the QB or stop the run and we are worried about some kid named Cromartie? Hayes who recently decommitted had not one backup FBS offer. Not to mention our 2019 class is merely half empty going into a crucial timeline of ESD/NSD very soon. Hopefully Briles brings over some of his topdog 3***s

I like how we basically assume he's going to get the gig before he even interviews if he wants it. You're not wrong.

the dumber assumption is that briles is a rainmaker on the recruiting trail, which he is not. he's invisible on 247's top recruiter list, for any year. hell, uh has the same number of recruits we do - 13.
